DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)

[0057] The following detailed description is intended to describe aspects of the invention in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments can be utilized, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

[0058] In this description, references to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” or “embodiments” mean that the feature or features being referred to are included in at least one embodiment of the technology. Separate references to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” or “embodiments” in this description do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment and are also not mutually exclusive unless so stated and/or except as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the description. For example, a feature, structure, act, etc. described in one embodiment may also be included in other embodiments but is not necessarily included. Thus, embodiments of the invention can include a variety of combinations and/or integrations of the embodiments described herein.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 1, the present multi-dimensional system and business method provides a wholesale or warehouse club platform that is entirely for consumer to business agreements which is driven by aggregated bundles of UPC labelled merchandise.

[0060] The initial step of the system operates by collecting the raw data that identifies the regular shopping and searching activity of the shoppers 101 and the products they are interested in purchasing. This step of extraction of raw data can be correlated to buyer focused web scraping and can be performed manually or by using artificial intelligence-based machine learning systems.

[0061] Once the raw data of the “interested products” has been searched and scraped, the interested products are aggregated based on specific UPC's and bundled into a single order 102. In this scenario, the consumers 101 have a raw element quality such as commodities, at its most basic level known as “interested products”.

[0062] In the next step, the system bundles online “interested products” as consumables, identified by UPC. The scope of the system is not limited to UPC scans, voice input or recognition and navigation other than by sight and screen touch or key strokes for placing orders and bidding.

[0063] Additionally, the system also detects eye motion and wide view imagery for object detection, then matches image with scraped UPC.

[0064] In the next step, the platform assembles orders by using artificial intelligence based machine learning into different volumes that are sizeable enough for gathering purchase orders. The system enables users 101 to be represented under a purchasing agent that is acting on behalf of all the consumers as if they were a single large corporation needing a variety of products in volume. The prepayments deposited by the consumers 101 for “interested products” are released within 24 hours.

[0065] In the next step, suppliers 103 (selling businesses) go to the platform to shop for large bundles of consumers 102 that are well organized and prepaid. For example, it is similar in a way that consumers going to a wholesale market and looking for bulk merchandise with a lower price. Vendors pay a fair transaction fee to proprietary controller for the bundles. Vendors gain residual sale opportunities, advantage over competitors and additional market exposure.

[0066] Once the interested sellers 103 have submitted their bids for the bundles of products, the lowest bidder gets the chance to deliver the bundled order and receives payment after invoice is created for the items at set price. In the next step, the orders are posted for delivery and both shopper and broker receive the formal tracking number.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 2, the same embodiment of the present invention provides different levels of the multi-dimensional system and method of buyer driven e-commerce. In the initial stage of the multi-dimensional system and method, the consumers 101 place orders 102 individually and the orders 102 are consolidated in every 24 hours. In the next stage the orders 102 are organized and bundled according to the UPC and the bundles are kept available for auction. Further, the interested vendors 103 place their bids where the lowest bidder 103 wins the chance to fulfill the order. Finally, the fulfillment data is consolidated and can be further tracked.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 3, one embodiment of the present invention provides a timeline visualization of the process of the multi-dimensional system and method of buyer driven e-commerce. The system UPC codes within commerce are automatically organized for spending efficiency. This platform challenges vendors to become more efficient due to auctions organizing competitions for vendor-business volume. This lowers margins and to combat lower margins, vendor's business activity must become more efficient to offset margin-discounting.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, the platform eliminates millions of separated transactions for greater efficient spending. Specifically, multiple orders are bundled in one shopping cart each day so that the bundle of orders can get a best price from a reputable seller who can further fulfill the orders at reduced prices.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment of the disclosed method/system, provides a way for consumers to drive with novel reversed polarity: it is a systematic and methodical way to show consumers the appraisable value of their requirements by providing any vendor a time, way and place to show value amounts they will remove from the regular price.

[0071] Another embodiment of the disclosed invention provides co-aggregating and aggregating consumers' committed funds, for specific days, for specific product-by-code transfers versus a warehouse club model that co-aggregates and aggregates goods and services as inventory for transfer to stores; holding inventory for consumers expected to transfer funds as individuals without any committed funds prior to the transfer. The present invention converts any interest in a UPC or identifiable product that was scraped, to inventory with volume to grow in a specified period not more than 24 hours each UPC growing volume is a separate product. The invention holds for transfer, consumers' non-refundable deposits equal to the scraped average retail list price. A hold is placed on their payment account.

[0072] Another embodiment of the present invention is an automatic system to develop new inventory daily for each UPC, that consumers monetize. The invention co-aggregates or “bundles” for useful valuable inventory monetized interest and volume. Vendors shop the contemporary warehouse essentially for monetized interest the invention has “bundled”.

[0073] Another embodiment of the present invention is a system and method for consumers to interface with the multi-dimensional system and method for buyers to drive e-commerce navigation tools; the operating system.

[0074] In another embodiment, the disclosed system/method creates novel “data carriages” which literally are vehicles operators drive in an automated “multi-dimensional control system and method to drive a buyer driven economy” and renders data not methodically assembled by it, useless.

[0075] The disclosed system/method allows businesses to access data quickly on this platform that is changing wants and needs, on this platform. Vendors with great connections which have access to merchandise as quickly as consumers wants or needs shift, are likely to benefit as much from consumers saving on expenditure as much as vendors benefit from steering consumers to save more.

[0076] Another embodiment of the present invention is a system and method for people in general to find business partners to offer the interested products and be sponsored during the transactions contained by the order-arrangements of this invention. This invention presses for novel arrangements between those in a position to finance trade with those that are or wish to be in positions to develop further vending.

[0077] Another embodiment of the present invention is a consumer to business platform online for both vendors and consumers to shop together in real-time; consumers see products, vendors see consumers looking at products, and consumers see what those vendors are bidding so as to be the supplier.

[0078] In preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, the system and method provide access to consumers in order to report the news of what the market is doing, where prices are dropping by rank and category, what investors are doing: soft bidding reports, what new products were scraped, how much was saved the day before, what future orders look like etc. The disclosed method is applicable to establish a platform entirely developed for a consumer-to-business system, driven by consumers within an automated system co-aggregating bundles of their UPC labelled merchandise; expenditure interest.

[0079] In another embodiment, the system and method simulate false auctions of real market data. The result and purpose of these false auctions is to immerse consumers in real data streaming through the market and activity of other consumers who are visiting, shopping, selling and finding investments in real-time. The present invention is a system and method to improve the market knowledge of consumers before going to market for shopping or other various reasons such as to learn about: products, orders on calendars, products orbiting other products, volumes growing, possible relationships between volumes growing with volumes levelling off, merchandise additions, other time cycles, inventory, soft bid price-to-MSRP of an item or the market at large, to see the ratio of vendors-to-searches.

[0080] In another embodiment the disclosed method informs people of market conditions to familiarize them with helpful consumer information adding confidence to instinctive society that uses tools and will drive the consumer to business e-commerce marketplace to places other systems' designs simply weren't intended to go to.

[0081] In another embodiment, the disclosed system enables people to automatically access calendars to choose when they want fulfillment knowing what suits their interest best.

[0082] In another embodiment, the disclosed system provides a National UPC-topic forum focusing on efficiency.

[0083] In preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, the system is operative with the program to: a) commercially channel and host cultural consumer to business “shows” accessing real time and “beyond real time” data; b) universally lead visitors through a theatrical spectrum of programs and plug-in applications latticed together; and c) positively influence volumes of monetized deposits.

[0084] In another embodiment, the disclosed system/method provides access to any arrangement for perpetual consumers' surplus expenditure interest, organizing matters of spending for best consumer-price protection wherein consumers in general are not driving matters to present themselves, the consumers do not have choice without this invention's system and method. This invention is a system and method to strike deals with vendors and investors for consumers' surplus.

[0085] In another embodiment, the disclosed system can be used as an operating system for consumers to use as a “shopping cart” in a day, without the traditional cost associated with paying as an individual or as a consumer separated from other consumers. It seems online a convenience charge is applied to orders for coming in separately, without the actual option being selected, to come in separately. Traditional platform options don't include a way to shop co-aggregated and counted as merchandise in an all-in-one a shopping cart auction process. The operating system as a shopping cart gives access for many to spend online with others to fabricate from individual household orders wholesale pallets to be auctioned for the dollar amount of interest deposited on virtually any UPC labelled item.

[0086] In another embodiment, the disclosed system/method is closed, organized final best bid auctions for consumer deposits above 30% retail price reduction. Further the system/method closed, organized final best bid auctions for consumer deposits as products with revenue-gross-value not less than retail value multiplied by 50 units.

[0087] In another embodiment, the present invention system/method enables sellers to perform reverse auctions with accumulating data from this platform of scraped data being searched. The platform further shows these real time searches in a volume format, pairs it with scraped vendors content and runs positively false-reverse auctions, advertising the false reverse auction data (based on searches) to stimulate real data conversion to monetized actions. The automatic bundling system for business is adaptable to any kind of business and is not limited to any specific type of business.

[0088] In another embodiment, the present invention system/method could be practiced using quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation, which is also known as quantum computing.

[0089] In a further embodiment, the present invention system/method could be practiced using photons produced by lasers or diodes to perform computation, which is also known as optical computing or photon computing.

[0090] In another embodiment, the present invention system/method could be practiced through a virtually simulated environment that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.

[0091] Although the description above contains many specifics, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments but as merely providing illustrations of some of several embodiments.
